Tested the update check successful on all supported platforms.

Windows will start the installer after download.
MAC OSX will open the disk image for install after download
Linux will hint what to execute on a shell after download. Linux does not automatically ask for admin credential.

Feature request closed.

Implemented an update check after program start once a day. If an update is available the message box prompt for download, if download finished successful ask for update install.
Need to test this cross platform.

At the moment, the update check only opens the program´s homepage, not even opening the page where you can easily see if there is a new version available.

Many other programs (on Windows at least) have implemented an update check, that downloads a XML file to compare the local version with the newest version available.

FileZilla does this job very well: It automatically checks for a new version on startup, asks the user if he wants to update, downloads the setup, installs the new version and the setup starts the program again.

Code from FileZilla can be found here:
